day 2 was about engagement. and the first thing i said on the call was that i don't like the word 🙃 by the end of the day nobody had found a better one, but we all agreed on the part that matters: - engagement for the sake of engagement is busy work. - you want people talking because it moves them somewhere. - otherwise it's just gif wars with extra steps. and after yesterday's chaos, today actually went as planned and a really cool teamwork. thanks to @Paulo Costa, The Roaster for letting us pick apart how Roast & Promote gets 78% of members posting, commenting and participating. huge thanks to @Éva Raposa and @Shannon Boyer for this important and meaningful roundtable discussion that was way more honest and substantial than most paid courses on this topic. 🎥 NOW THE RECAP all recordings are in the Classroom (available to everyone till 1 October, only to Premium & VIP after that) with summaries and time codes (still think this deserves a like): - case study with Paulo - roundtable with Eva and Shannon - hot seats recording ♨️ THE HOT SEATS still i believe one of the most useful part of the clinic. and another round of applause for the brave ones: @Sandra Martinez @Vladimir Belokapov @Kate DuBois @Nikesh Amit plus @Diana Frank who jumped in with the story of a tiny spin-off that outsold her main community in 3 days. you can find links to their communities in the class. 🏆 THE PRIZES thanks to our lovely sponsor - Community Income Mastermind - community for Skool community builders ready to go from free to profitable, we have our grand prize - annual membership ($497) to be awarded to just 1 person via name lottery among all active participants.

you don't need more information. you need someone to look at your community and tell you what to fix. that's the whole clinic. no slides, no frameworks, no summit replays you'll never open. you bring your community, i ask how can i help, and i tell you what i'd actually do. but there is more: - 6 amazing experts/speakers joining me for a daily roundtable discussions (to be revealed shortly) - 3 successful case studies to help you see a real life examples - bunch of other Skoolers sharing their struggles here's what one conversation did for Eugene - he just posted yesterday after our call only 2 days ago: "I made changes to my community and already got 4 members since we've talked. Awesome and thank you 😊" check the calendar. come to as many sessions as you can. for sure come for the hot seats. that's where your community gets fixed. and there are prizes from our sponsor - Community Income Mastermind 😎 anyone who joins live or take a REAL part in the CC 2.0 - you're in the draw for $497 annual subscription. i'll draw the winner at the Monday debrief. everyone else who shows up and takes part gets an ASYNC audit of their community from me. it's all FREE. the recordings are FREE until 1 October. check the Calendar and check in. ps who is coming?

the major part of yesterday's Skool news was on Growth Boost (sigh). so, i am not going to share a summary - if you are interested in what they are saying, check the recording in the Vault here. === i am still here to give the Axe Verdict. but let's hear from other Skoolers first. very respected one. here is someone, who has been on Skool for a while / been successful: "My latest growth boost observations...Idk about the rest of you, but I wish they had never started it at this point. I haven’t watched today’s Skool News to hear the latest, but I feel over the whole experiment...I have gone up and down on it several times, but it really does feel like a huge distraction." and then this comment, from someone who is really successful and many of you know: "It's built for the few and it will benefit the few. For the rest of us, it's just a distraction." finally, the last drop, yesterday i invited someone to speak at the Community Clinic 2.0 - more on this to come. she was not a member here. and while we were talking over DMs, she joined from the profile. big mistake , i know - just kidding, it is not on her. but now, i have to pay Skool 50% from $9. well, i can survive that. but still not fair. === what do i think? i think, they are trying to help Skoolers - in their minds. i think, here is what they could have done instead: - introduce efficiency score transparency, so community owners can see how effective they are + share advice/suggestion on what to focus on. - introduce "Deep research" feature to help community owners improve what they are doing. - and whatever else they are doing to improve Growth Boost -- offer it to us as extra paid service. all those features could be at extra cost per month. i would pay for it. for sure. instead, right now: - ppl going paid, when it does not make any sense. - we have to trust/gamble to get results without any visibility of what is going on. - we are blackmailed into using Growth Boost or we loose features we thought are inherent
